RockShox Vivid Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock

The RockShox Vivid Ultimate rear shock with RC2T damping for mountain bikes on a gravity mission

The Vivid Ultimate air shock from RockShox with RC2T damping is designed for enduro and downhill bikes. It offers steel coil-like behaviour, but combines it with versatile adjustability. The RC2T damping allows you to tune the high- and low-speed compression and rebound. For quick adjustment while you're riding, use the 2-position lever to switch between Open and Firm. Thanks to the TouchDown technology, you get exactly the support you need in every travel section. The shock is also equipped with adjustable hydraulic bottom out as standard. Compared to the Super Deluxe Air, the Vivid has a larger air chamber and a stronger chassis, which results in more oil volume, i.e. better heat management, and more bushing overlap, i.e. lower friction. The Vivid is also suitable for e-bikes.

Guidelines for Replacing E-bike Components:

Before you replace components on your e-bike, please read through the guidelines for component replacement for CE-marked e-bikes/pedelecs with pedal assistance.

TouchDown
The TouchDown damping system features three compression zones. The first 10 % of suspension travel is characterised by fine response and little damping, which absorbs vibrations. Between 10 and 80 % of travel, you benefit from controlled, stable compression. For the last 20 % of travel, you can adjust the hydraulic bottom out to the track ahead.
